Dude has a point. 137 dollars? What the fuck are we doing? Why do we keep doing it? Its not entirely the users fault. But like, I dont use any of these services. They’re practically cold food scams.

Is it actually hard to imagine someone ordering food for like 8 people?
Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 10 hours ago
8 people on door dash is more than 137, same with Uber Eats. That’d be closer to a 200 dollar bill. My cousin uses it everyday and it has increased his food costs by 40%. Thats insane.

8 was obviously an estimate. Replace with a different number. I have used it before and $25 per person wouldn’t be common for people who aren’t batshit insane with their money. Just as with most things, you can spend stupid amounts of money or you can be more sensible.

I mean just eating out in general is the most expensive way to feed yourself in general, does your cousin just not know how to cook?
I personally just have a shit ton of fake accounts so I can cycle through and use the 50% off “new customer” discounts, but trying to do that everyday wouldn’t work LMAO it should be reserved for maybe a weekly thing, a treat for if you’re drunk/stoned on a fri/sat night

I just grew up poor and find the level of fiscal irresponsibility involved in ride sharing your meals appalling. Not one of those “pull yourself up from your bootstraps” guys (there are lots of forces that keep people in poverty), but you might aswell be lighting money on fire if you get doordash.

This person could be getting a catered bbq spread for a family. The idea that you automatically assume this is one person buying something for themselves shows you’re just looking for a reason to be angry.
